Sherburn Blue 3'5 x 5'5 Rug

Wool is an excellent choice for coastal environments because it is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. Unlike some synthetic materials that can trap heat, wool helps regulate the "micro-climate" of a room. This rug’s serene blue and earth-tone palette is specifically designed to complement coastal and contemporary decor. To prevent the organic "wet wool" scent sometimes associated with high humidity, ensure the room remains well-ventilated and the rug is placed on a dry surface.

This rug is crafted from 100% luxurious wool, a natural fiber prized for its superior resilience and "spring-back" ability. Unlike synthetic imitations, wool contains natural lanolin, which acts as a built-in stain barrier. To verify the quality of a hand-tufted piece like this one, you can feel the density; a high-quality wool rug will feel heavy and plush, with fibers that quickly return to their original shape after being compressed.

Hand-tufting is a skilled artisanal process where wool yarn is pushed through a primary canvas backing to create a dense, multi-dimensional pile. This technique allows for the intricate, textural abstract design seen in this collection. The result is a superbly soft and plush surface that provides better underfoot comfort and sound dampening than standard machine-made rugs, making it an excellent choice for creating a quiet "oasis" in your home.

This specific dimension is ideal for defining smaller functional zones within a home. It works beautifully as a high-end accent in an entryway, a plush landing beside a bed, or to anchor a small reading nook with a single accent chair. In urban apartments or "studio" layouts, it provides a sophisticated pop of color and texture without overwhelming a limited floor plan.

Because wool is naturally stain-resistant, most spills can be handled easily if addressed quickly. Based on our material care guidelines, you should blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can push the liquid deeper into the wool core. For persistent spots, use a small amount of mild detergent with cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or steam cleaning, which can strip the wool of its natural protective oils.

Yes, minor shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and typically subsides within three to six months of regular use. To maintain the integrity of the hand-tufted fibers, our care experts recommend vacuuming regularly using suction only. Avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar or a high-speed rotating brush, as these can "fuzz" the yarn and lead to permanent fiber breakage.
